| "A 0oioSAau W Tie New 1Ork Times rom Pnlia-
delphia says: Three actors stood in the lobby of
| the Continental Hotel cafe late Sunday evening
| talking shop. They were good friends, and
cracked jokes right and left. They were Wilton
| Lackaye, OF the Allan Dare Company; James
| Mahoney formerly OF Washingtonb who was
with Lolita last season, and Peter Church, an
| actor who lives In Washington. Actor Mahoney
| been living there since He dropped into the
| hotel to see his old friends Lackaye and church,
ahur .ney aad very jolly afternoon OF It, MIR.
SnuIcn Is handsome young man, who owns a
pretty jet black mustache. has a piercing black
eye, and wears black high hat and dresses fault
! model: Mr.. Mahoney is not quite so taft as Mr.
Chuicn, ana he does not know much about fight
ing, out he Is great talker.
MI. Lackaye Is IA big, broad-shouldered young
| man, and is scientific boxer. He takes the part
| OF Robert the Devil in Admiral Porter's play,
man that ever lived He is a murderer robber
Ghis ,, ana laughs at prison bars and handouts.
| made the remark: THAT amt so.n Actor Ma
honey objected to "ain't." He told Mr. Lackaye
| that there wasn't any such word and that he
ought not 10 use it, MIR Lackaye said that it was
q correct expression; that the word was from the
Sanscr1t, and wasshanded down from the Persian,
anu anu n rtt found It's way to America; that amt
honey insisted, an abbreviatton or are not. Mr..
Ma sneered at Mr.: Lackayes wisdom, and
MT. Lackaye suggested that Mr.. Mahoney didn't
know what he was talking about. Actor Mahoney
wanted to bet $40 that he did
me actors looked around for stakeholder and
q re1efee, Out didn't see anybody they knew. Mr.
Lackaye suggested that Actor Church should act
IN the dual capacity OF stakeholder and referee.
Actor Church at first declined act but was fin
ally persuaded by Mr.. Lackaye, ana the argument
was started afresh. Actor Church listened for ten
minutes TO Actor Mahoney, and then lent his ear
Lackaye In everything he said, and Mr. I.ackaye
treated Mr. Mahoney in the same way. Finally
was an sass" to which Mr.. Mahoney demurred by
saying In cutting tone that Mr.. Lackaye
Thought ne knew everything, but what he didn't
know would make bigger book than was ever
| bound.
! While these little compliments were being ex-
changed Actor Church was revolving in his mind
the correctness Of the derivation OF s.ain't" and
| finally he decided that MIR. Lackaye was right.
This mace Mr.. Mahoney very angry, and he in
! tsiDg TO mop up the sidewalk with the walking
gentleman. Mr.. Church declined the Invitation,
| AMI the Thespian trio sauntered into The hotel
corridor and planted themselves III front OF the
hotei oifice. smarting under the decision Of
Referee Church, Actor Mahoney kept on declaring
mat Actor Lackaye was wrong and that he tia-
| honey was right. Mir. MahOney finally said to
Mr. Church: you are mentally and intellectually
my inferior You're not lit to be referee In this
| matter"
| Mr. Church remarked to Mr.. Mahoney: "Youre
a--fool." MIR. Mahoney added couple OF cuss
words TO Mr.. Church's remark, and hurled them
at him Mr.. Church immediately punched Mr..
Mahoney's nose very direct, straig -rrom-t he
shoulder punch. Mr.. Mahoney was staggered with
SURPRISE and his nose began to swell Immediately
and assumed crimson hue. When he recovered
Himself he looked at Actor Churcls c,fnched fist
ana made dive for him. The few people in the
corridor and three clerks In the office expected to
See MIR. MahOney knock Mr. Church into the brand
new five thouoand-doliar elevator 20 feet away
but they were disappointed. Mr.. Mahoney had
concluded TO go at Actor Church catch-aS-catch-
can ana roll hum all over the marbled-uilrd floor
Mr.. MahOney rushed at Actor Church with mad
fury. Mckee Rankin thought Bob Downing was
going through Scare Oh The ''GiadiatOr' when he
arrived at that instant III the elevator, and
Actor Lackaye, who was watching the fray,
says he thought Actor Mahoney was going t5
double ActertTTurch up and ding him into Helm
Co.a5 drug store.
TIE actors ciinched, and for nearly minute
they clutched at each other not as actors on the
stage, but in dead earnest Actor Iackaye thought
IL was time 10 Int eriera and shouted s'ThiS is no
place TO fight; il you want to fight go out in the
street, But they wouldn't stop, 50 Mr. Lackaye
promptly knocked Mr.. Mahoney down, and he
went SPRAYING over against the marble counter or
Cnurch down, and he went tumbling over toward
the cigar stand. That ended the hight. Mr. Ma
honey gathered himself toge her, felt his nose and
got on MS feet, and Immediately invited Actor
Lackaye to go out on 9th street and fight il out
Nh Lackaye accepted the invitation win aiacrity,
but Mr.. Mah0ney withdrew his challenge and
thanked Mr.. Lackaye for knocking hun down, re-
marking that that was all that stopped him from
destroying Actor Church, who had picked himself
gtrlng Ior another round. Mr.. Mahoney slipped
out, so did MIR. Church. and later in the night Ac-
Tor Lackaye posed In the corridor as peacelnaker.
